"Orientalist School (c. 1900) - Lakshmi"
Watercolor on paper. This magnificent watercolor vividly illustrates the fascination that the immense and fragrant reality of Hindustan held for Europeans. This beautiful woman, draped in an aquamarine sari edged with saffron, turns towards the viewer in a moment of special inspiration, evoking with her gaze the obscure wisdom of the Vedas. Dimensions of the unframed image: 38 x 28 cm / 52 x 42 cm, with an antique Dutch-style frame. Galerie Montbaron includes a technical sheet prepared by a certified art historian with each lot. This technical sheet is sent digitally upon request.
